> Americans all have this attitude

...

> Its an accurate generalization

I'm American, and I don't have that view. So it's clearly not literally true.

So perhaps you mean that it's "mostly" true. Then I'd ask, what evidence do you have to support that? Is there some poll of public opinion you can refer to? That's something we could meaningfully discuss.

Actually, your view is true even if there exists even just one person with your view. In reality what matters is the distribution of views. Furthermore, what matters is the distribution of views by the decision makers because those will be divorced from public distribution and informed by other secret plans or information unknown to public. So in a sense, it doesn't matter whether he is right or you are.

You are incredibly insulated. Read some books about the world and world history.

We've been discussing whether or not certain views are held by nearly 100% of current Americans.

IIUC, that book focuses on evils done by the US government in 1965. I'm not seeing the connection.
